    Trouble mating 727 to a 440 - HELP ;)

    Thanks :), I'm also going to count my Splines as well. Not sure what year this 727 came out of. I'm learning a lot when you try to piece together a car from scratch ;).

    Hey Guys, Thanks for all the help, I've pulled an tried reseating the converter several times. It feels like it's seated, and with alittle shaking did feel it slide in alittle farther. It would be nice there was a space to get a mirror back behind the converter and see if it is truly seated...

    727 help???????

    Crazy Question, but what did Mopar consider a small block? 318 or a 400? So I'm assuming then a 383 and above would be a big block.

    Trouble mating 727 to a 440 - HELP ;)

    Hey everyone, frustrating afternoon. Finally got enough free time to try and mate the 727 to the 440, and it didn't fit. The Bell Housing stands off about 1/2 - 3/4" from the engine. The Bolt holes line up perfectly, and the Converter is inserted all the way into the Trans input shaft, but...

    1968 Dart /6-904 > 440-727 Swap

    I need your help guys, I haven't mated the transmission to the motor yet, but was curious if the original Transmission Cross Member (originally a Slant 6 & 904 Tranny) will bolt up to the 727? I've read that they both used the same cross member, but figured I'd ask before I start dropping this...

    440 Oil Pressure Connection(s)

    Hi Guys, just dropped the 440 in the 68 Dart, but trying to figure which Oil Port to connect the gauge to. I have two (different) size holes at the rear of the Engine (above the CAM Cavity. I had assumed there would have been a connection on the Pump (hmm, not the case it seems). Any ideas?

    Hooooaaaaaahhhhh. Thank you for your Service, and also for being a REDLEG. I'm assuming Artillery, since it's Fort Sill, OK. I have been serving for 27 Years, and currently a Master Sergeant (and yes, Artillery the entire time). Nothing like those big guns when you need to blow something up...

    HELP with bodywork

    I'm not an expert, just a novice too. So here is my two cents, Please, please do youself a favor, buy a fairly good gun cheap (Harborfreight) on the internet ($15.00). As far as the compressor, rent one borrow one. You only need 45psi to push the paint thru a HVLP gun, and you won't be sorry...

    Never Tighten Oil Pan Bolts With The Flywheel Cover Off!!!!

    It's the little things that you'd never suspect can hurt, but seem to do the most damage. Thanks for this thread. It serves to remind me daily to respect the power these machines have. In a split second, they can take away the most precious gift of all. Hoooooaaaaahhhhhh!
